Chapter 600 Chapter 597 Long Time No See

Zhuang Xuteng curled up in the hole in the wall for a whole day, using his sensory tentacles to look through every aspect of the hidden factory. In order to avoid alarming the company's people too much, he did not try any other sabotage actions except waking up the young man in advance.

Before being sent into the jar, the young man woke up, slowly opened his eyes, and looked around in confusion. Maybe he was still thinking about the last moment of his previous memory, and failed to wake up from the painful recollection of the current flowing in his body, so he missed the last chance to escape. In addition, the staff here have all installed implants, even implants for work assistance can provide enough absolute power to suppress ordinary people.

He had no habit of staying still and observing the surrounding environment before taking action after waking up, so he was discovered by the blue work clothes before he could figure out what was going on. Then, a hand that was strong enough to lift half a ton of goods pressed him firmly on the transporter, and another person took out a needle of anesthetic from under the car and injected it into him.

This time, there was really nothing he could do. The young man did not cause any damage at all. He just made the staff have a moment of self-doubt, then shrugged and followed the steps to complete the work of putting the human body into the tank.

Fasten it with a belt, put on the dream fog machine, buckle the hood, and then run a self-check to confirm that the person has been connected to the network. Then close the tank and start injecting nutrient solution into it. During this process, the person inside will choke and cough due to drowning, and the desire to survive will strengthen the body's hormone secretion and try to wake people up.

At this time, the power of the dream fog machine is shown. All nerve signals are misinterpreted by the dream fog machine as part of the dream, while reducing its stimulation and presenting it in a relatively gentle way. People in the dream will only feel nervous and terrified, but they will not wake up immediately. At this time, the nutrient agent is poured into the lungs and stomach, replacing the original environment to provide the human body with various needs.

The pressure of the tank is also adjusted synchronously to allow the lungs to continue working. At this time, the lungs inhale and press out liquid, which will be a little uncomfortable at first, but you can adapt after a while. When the alveoli find that they can complete the oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange normally, they will no longer send out emergency nerve stimulation, and the body's last struggle will end.

The young man will never have the opportunity to be young again in this life. He will either spend his whole life providing brain power support for the company's network, or die in the experiment. The experiment conducted by the people in white coats here is very clear: to find the optimal efficiency solution for the human brain to provide computing power support.

Zhuang Xuteng can't understand the complicated reports written by those researchers. The curves in them are all the same to him. Only those conclusions that are clearly written can be understood by him. The Scarlet Group obviously does not pursue the "longest working time" of brain power providers, nor does it care about the maximum life span of brain power providers. The company's practice is to first calculate the cost of life support with nutrient solution, plus the time and social cost of replacing personnel, and then compare the benefits generated by this person's brain power.

Some parts of the report use some creepy terms, such as "life replacement", "nutritional cycle engineering", "awake critical control", etc. All these theories are to support one purpose: to stably and permanently turn people into pure intellectual providers.

The local research project is called "Puppet OEM", and the report also mentioned another project with the same status, "Plantation", which is under the charge of the 36 Charity Foundation. Judging from the name, it is not a good project. It will not be a plantation for mass production of humans, right? Zhuang Xuteng felt cold in his heart. He did not expect that the company could despise humans so much and simply regard humans as a kind of thing, at best just a tool.

"Why do people in the company support this?"

In addition to conducting "brain efficiency research" in the nutrient tank, the other half of the factory continues to produce templated execution puppets. The staff of this part are from Today Group. Judging from the number of the factory assembly line, there are many assembly plants like this, and it is likely that every city has one.

The factory consists of two parts. The first area is relatively clean. It only installs implant chips for the already formed execution puppets, and then hoists them into the charging and programming area to complete the final debugging. Those puppets are all wearing paratrooper-style safety straps, hung by hooks, and shuttled through the factory following the transmission system. During the final debugging, they were kept hanging, crowded in the same room, and the scene looked very uncomfortable.

But the second area gave people a feeling far more than "uncomfortable", but creepy. This part of the factory is dealing with corpses. They take the corpses out of the cold storage, transport them on conveyor belts, and scan and sort them first. The ones with suitable and complete figures will be picked out and sent to the transformation workshop, where they will be "standardized" by special equipment. There are several series of execution puppets, implementing different standards, and the equipment in the transformation workshop can be cut on demand. In addition to the tailor-like cutting method, the core components inside continuously cast shadow spells, which ensures the consistency of the product.

Using shadow equipment to cast such complex spells, is this the company's current technical strength?

In fact, Zhuang Xuteng could still keep his composure after seeing this, but he couldn't hold on any longer. Those unqualified corpses, such as those that were too young or too old, too thin or too fat, and those that were too severely mutilated and in poor condition, all entered another processing workshop, where they were first depilated and then cut, then pounded and stirred, and put into the bioreactor. Although he didn't understand what technologies were used in the dozens of steps of the entire process, Zhuang Xuteng could understand the finished product: part of it was the nutrient solution in the test jar, and part of it was the "biological medicinal base."

As a living being, humans participate in the material cycle of nature, which is understandable. However, it is unacceptable to use humans as materials to participate in the assembly line production of factories, or even to use them as finished products to provide nutrients to other people's mouths and noses. Zhuang Xuteng just imagined that if he was put into a jar and the nutrient solution poured into his mouth and nose, it would be equivalent to countless other people's internal organs, skin, bones, blood and teeth being forced in... He quickly covered his mouth, stopped imagining, and suppressed vomiting to avoid being discovered.

As for the other part of the "biological pharmaceutical substrate", the quantity is not too large, so it is directly loaded and transported away. It is not known where it is transported to or what it is used for, but guess who is in the transport team? Kelly is one of them. The goods were carried into the truck by the execution puppet. She counted the quantity and signed the documents carried by the execution puppet. Without asking a word, she closed the door and set off. Obviously, she often does this, knows the destination very well, and is quite trusted in this industry.

If you want to know where the truck is delivering goods, just ask Kelly.

After a whole day of observation, Zhuang Xuteng has figured out the basic situation of the entire underground bunker factory and laboratory, and a plan on how to destroy it has also been formed in his mind-not now. The technical information and business chain here can be further explored, and Zhuang Xuteng's pressure is not great, so there is no need to act immediately. While he has not been discovered yet, Zhuang Xuteng quietly moved the wall blocks back to their original positions, filled the gaps with the cement he brought, and then retreated.

Slowly remove the support, cover the hole with a small-scale landslide, and then clean up the area around the hole to remove the signs of "recent overturning". Zhuang Xuteng took all the equipment and left the place quietly.

He was lucky because the motorcycle was still in place and was not stolen; but he was also unfortunate: not only could he not find any information about the Blue Wing Logistics Company, he drove to the Fourth Alliance City Hongxiu Town to inquire and found that not only the Tomato Family Repair Shop was gone, but there was no news about Kelly and her brother Buck. Zhuang Xuteng only knew that since Doyle left Hongxiu Town, the two siblings appeared less and less. Two years ago, she completely sold the Tomato Family Repair Shop, disappeared with Buck, and completely lost contact with her old friends in the town.

The townspeople also heard about her joining the gang and expressed regret. Seeing that there was no clue in the town, Zhuang Xuteng went back to the music restaurant and asked Lucy for help.

Find a former gang member in Peicheng, with appearance, name, social connections, and even know her current main business. Zhuang Xuteng couldn't find "Blue Wing Logistics" in the telephone directory - the telephone directory can be searched offline, which will not trigger the company's information review, and the disadvantage is that the information is delayed - but professional intelligence collectors and mercenaries who are good at investigation have a lot of ways.

"Since you came back from the capital, I have had an illusion..." Sister Lucy said when she accepted Zhuang Xuteng's commission fee: "It feels like you are not working for me, but I am working for you. Thank you for taking care of your business, Naike."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head, he sat down, ready to take this opportunity to lay out some things. Where to start? He thought for a moment and said, "There is no way. Only after losing it do we realize how convenient it was before. If Nightingale and Rock Sparrow were still there, I would just let them search for information and save some money."

"There are indeed one or two mercenary teams equipped with intelligence officers in history, but in the past fifteen or sixteen years, there has only been your team. What, do you want to find someone to team up with again?"

"Is there still a chance?" Zhuang Xuteng smiled, crossed his legs, wrapped his hands around his knees and swayed slightly back and forth, and asked in a relaxed tone: "Before, you said you wanted to engage in a middleman war. If I can capture the intelligence officer over there alive, is there a chance to capture him in the team again?"

"It's not easy to fight, I'm a little unsure." Lucy sighed and said, "If there is a stronghold like the music restaurant, can you take it down?"

"This question is a bit dangerous. I trust you won't hurt me, so I tell you the truth: as long as you don't run into me, and there are no enhanced people from the company , it is not too difficult to take down two or three music restaurants at a time. "Zhuang Xuteng thought about it and added: "There is another premise: I must have normal intelligence support, and someone must suppress the alarm system."

Lucy was very surprised: "Are you so sure?"

"You just don't know how the leaders of those gangs died. If you follow me on the mission and know the specific situation at that time, you won't have such doubts." Zhuang Xuteng felt that Lucy wanted to divert the topic, so he said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Nightingale and Rock Bird. They saw the general process, but they don't know the means and methods."

"You mentioned them again. What are you going to ask?" Lucy waved her finger and said, "I get annoyed when I hear the names of these two people. Don't ask, just assume that the rumors you heard are all correct. If I have any opinions on how to deal with them, no matter what it is, whether you need to take action or not, I will tell you in advance. "

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, and finally spread his hands helplessly and said: "Okay, since you covered your face, I can't see your expression and guess your thoughts. Don't bother, I will do it literally. Tell me what you need me to do as soon as possible. Although I don't have any commissioned tasks, I am not completely free."

"I understand. I will give you information about the person you want to find as soon as possible. It shouldn't be difficult to find, because I seem to have heard of the name Blue Wing Logistics somewhere, at least it is not made up out of thin air."

In fact, Zhuang Xuteng gave the commission at noon and got the result in the evening. The parking location of the Blue Wing Logistics fleet, Kelly's mobile phone number and address, and the workplace of her brother Buck. Zhuang Xuteng thought about it and felt that he might be able to ask more information with hostages in hand, so he chose the third clue: Buck's workplace.

It was a public work site, and Buck had no extra difficulty in sleeping while wearing a helmet. When he lay on the work chair, he looked no different from an ordinary person who was not paralyzed. He received the same salary and he would not receive any extra care. The only difference between him and others is that he put the electric wheelchair next to the recliner, and Zhuang Xuteng is sitting on it now.

Why a person with lower body paralysis does not receive extra care in this social public work point? Of course, it is because the staff in the store are the type who do as little as possible. Zhuang Xuteng occupied someone else's wheelchair, and they turned a blind eye. As long as he did not kill or set fire in the store, did not destroy the equipment here, and did not rob, they would just pretend not to see it.

The garbage on the ground can be ignored, and a pervert who finished his work but wandered around the house and touched other people's breasts can also be ignored. Zhuang Xuteng picked up a can pull ring from the ground, pinched the thin metal sheet between two fingers, and threw it out fiercely.

"Ouch!" The pervert screamed, and immediately ran out with his blood-stained hand. The thin sheet of the can directly penetrated between his metacarpal bones and stuck on the bones. Any slight shake could make him scream. After the pervert ran away, the clerk tried to take two steps towards Zhuang Xuteng. Zhuang Xuteng glared at them and scared them away.

Fifteen minutes before Buck got off the plane, Kelly arrived. She frowned as if she was worried, and she took reflexive steps all the way based on her old habits, so she didn't see Zhuang Xuteng until she walked into the store. Her first reaction was to turn around and run away, but she only turned more than 40 degrees before she came to her senses and stopped urgently.

"Why are you running? You don't owe me money!" Zhuang Xuteng smiled, pointed to the work chair next to him, and said, "Long time no see, Kelly. Sit down. These guys are like corpses when they work, and they won't care if you sit on his work chair."

"You came to find me, right? What can I do for you?" Kelly knew that she couldn't run away, let alone leave Buck behind, so she sat down obediently and asked.

"I heard some news and found that you might be related to one of my commissioned tasks. If I can know more, my actions will be more certain." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask here. Those questions are too sensitive, and I don't want to kill so many people..."
